The FLUXNET 2004 Open Workshop, Celebrating 10 years since La Thuile and Planning for the Future

 

V 3.1

December 3, 2004

 

Dec 13-15  2004

Convitto della Calza

Firenze, Italy

 

Conveners: D. Baldocchi and R. Valentini

Local Organizing Committee: F. Miglietta, M. Falk, S. Dore, D. Papale

Steering Committee: B. Law, B. Cook, H. Dolman, R. Leuning, S. Yamamoto

 

Goals of Workshop:

 

  1. Convene the an open meeting of FLUXNET Participants (the first since 1997 in Montana) to facilitate communication and interaction among active scientists
  2. Produce an overview of recent findings
  3. Form a bridge for linking Fluxnet with new and emerging activities in Bioscience
    1. Fluxnet and: remote sensing, ecohydrology, ecophysiology, ecology, biodiversity, climate/weather prediction
  4. Organize and strategize for the present and future operation of FLUXNET
    1. Discuss new technologies and measurements that can be incorporated into the network
  5. Position us as a system for being integrated into Regional and Global studies of the Terrestrial Carbon Cycle
  6. Produce a Special Issue of Global Change Biology based on Thematic Overview Lectures.
